A drum brake system is made up of many interdependent parts and the wheel cylinders are amongst the most important when it comes to stopping the wheels from moving. They are the components that put pressure on the brake shoes to force them up against the inner surface of the drum – it is precisely this heavy friction that stops the wheels from spinning. The brakes are among the most frequently used components of any vehicle, so they are prone to declining in quality and effectiveness as a natural result of almost constant friction. Moreover, the wheel cylinders are part of the start of the braking process, so they undergo a significant amount of wear. This means that they need to be checked regularly and replaced when depleted to avoid putting the driver and passengers of a vehicle in danger.
